Dental Exams in Larchmont
The American Dental Association recommends to have a dental checkup at lease twice a year, though those with a history of oral issues may need to go more. Your visit at our Larchmont practice gives Comprehensive Dental Group the opportunuttiy to assess your oral health and treat any issues before they become exacerbated.
We help by providing:
Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc
Dental Cleanings in Larchmont
Dental Cleanings greatly reduce your chances of gum disease and tooth decay. We help by providing:
- Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments.
Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease
Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.
